But nothing is stopping them from cloning and pushing up to BitBucket or a private git hosting service. You merely have the appearance of cleanliness with none of the security. The only way to really protect yourself is with a contract that

This a bit like AI. It's 2018. Where are your vertical farms? You want to talk efficiency, soil on the ground will be more efficient than soil in the air for at least the next 50 to 100 years. Eventually we'll even live in starshi

Slightly off topic, but to your last point: I've done some thinking about this, and the idea that a civil liberty granting you access to firearms will help in a government coup or if the government really comes for you seems laughable

Thanks for the data! Is it unreasonable to think that as energy efficiency of things (cars, heating systems, airplanes) improve and we move towards renewable energy that the inefficiency of rural life could become offsetting and the value o

Not sure my feelings were hurt. I was just pointing out a value judgement when I saw it.

Gonna post before reading (mistake alert), but was just reading The Patient's Playbook by Leslie Michelson and it begins by talking about what a clustercuss the US healthcare system is. You'd think your primary care physician woul

Well, the top listing is manufactured by "Wishpower" so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's probably not Google.

I'd be careful with "simple facts." Rarely do they turn out to be simple. Show me the evidence that dense urban areas are economically AND environmentally more efficient. The environment part seems especially suspect. To a la

Oh wow. Personal preference is thick in that last statement there. I can't stand places with wet and dry seasons. I can't imagine wanting to live somewhere without snow in the winter. "Great year round weather" is a valu

Maybe there's something I missed about GPUs and mining, but how can an amateur rig like these hope to keep up with ASIC rigs? Can you profitably mine with residential electricity and GPUs still? How long can that possibly last?

That's all perfectly fair criticism about a specific type of OSS advocate. But the discussion here is not actually about "it's more secure because it's open" and really about "it has a higher likely-hood of bei

These are all terrible arguments, sir. There is absolutely no way to make an argument that closed-source software is just as auditable or secure as open-source software. There will always be methods of trust required when you use things oth

Not that I disagree with the specifics here, but I think there's a happy medium to find. Individual boxed offices for every employee is not efficient use of space most of time. While it's popular to kvetch about open plan offices

That's true. Really it would turn this into a last-mile problem where rural communities that didn't have the land value to justify big infrastructure projects would have terrible roads.

But I pay my taxes! Just kidding. This is a brilliant solution, but government doesn't like brilliant solutions. The more you can hide the cost of things, the easier it is to embezzle and/or fund pork barrel projects. I say this

IANAL, but there have been laws on the book prohibiting bartering in any substantial amount for a while. Of course, the IRS is not going to chase you down for swapping with your neighbor, but large scale "bartering" is definitely

I think the problem there, is that you then basically wind up with Git on the backend and an SVN-like layer over the front. Which seems a bit silly. SVN is a very robust project that works really well. Why not add git-like porcelain to SVN

I feel like this is all the same absurd realities as with Flight M370. A vessel carrying 33 lives into the path of a hurricane was relying on hourly EMAILS from a for-profit weather aggregation service? What the hell? Why wouldn't you

Sigh ... they've worked really hard over the past 10 years to remove the definite article from Maine Maritime Academy, and then bam Yankee Magazine goes and uses it all throughout this otherwise fantastic article.

Good old Farmington, but I'm actually in the midcoast, which is a world apart from central and northern Maine.

Not that it's Maine specific, but Ocean State Job Lot is a weird f-ing place, too. I actually love it, and was in there the other day opining to my wife that were the zombie apocalypse to go down, OSJL would be a solid place to hole up

Whether it's true or not, I think there's a perception of a more cavalier attitude around Docker that things will "just work" if I make my whole build system and production deployment depend on a random lady's docke

As I understand it, PR-API is a glue for current payment methods. So your browser would simply contain a hash that is connected to a payment method (i.e. a credit card). It's effectively like Stripe built in to your browser. Before you

It would be an awful lot like the end of Fight Club. Destroy credit records, or reduce them to meaningless, either way the economy would collapse. People can complain all they want about credit, but the reality is that it exists as a financ
